A well-planned tutorial with plenty of practical examples and logical explanation done at a good pace. If only more tutorials were as good.

Very clear, I didn't know about the methods in either version so will try both. I am not very good at getting things to work, but I'm going to give it a try.

Nice tutorial. I'll be adding some refinements to the Shape Builder tool in coming updates. You know - if you don't preselect one of the Action modes, you can make and refine a selection of areas (including adding and removing areas from the selection), then click on an Action button, or press Return or Backspace to apply the selection. This is much more powerful as it affords you more control and precision over which areas are used to make you shapes.

Thank you for the video tutorial. Simple and precise. I'm able to create a rough logo design for my small company by watching this. I decided to create the logo myself after being turned down for a few times by paid designer and your tutorial help me through for the very first time user of Affinity Designer

Wonderful video! I really enjoyed how you explained this and could follow along easily! Thank you!

Love it! Your tutorial and this shape builder tool! 😍

Thank you! Love the many examples! Keep up the good work!

I have started with Affinity Designer 2. Thank you for the tut, easy to follow.

I'm not sure I would have ever figured out how to use this tool from the built in help had you not made a tutorial. Thank you.

Awesome. That's what I looked for!

Thank you - clearly demonstrated and steady pace.

Great informative video, thank you so much! This new tool is way less confusing thanks to you!

Thanks! This is definitely the clearest and most comprehensive demo of the shape builder that I've seen. I'm excited!

Very well explained and demo’ed.🌟👏👍

Thank you - an easy to follow tutorial that didn't assume I already knew where the shape builder tool button was or any other buttons!!! The pace was good so once I had drawn your pictures/patterns I could follow along.

Hi, really helpful tutorial, thank you mate for your work

Brilliant stuff. Many thanks

Fantastic, thank you!

really col tool! Thanks!

Thank you!

Appreciate the vid and the download!

Great videos. I think with the new shape builder tool and the Boolean tools with their compound abilities, sky's the limit. Now if only they could stop the crashes. I know we should save often, but sometimes clicking on save will crash the program.🙃

Thanks for this overview of the the new SB tool. Off topic: What I'd like to see is a "shape hugger" tool, where a shape can be configured to share borders with one or more other shapes. In this environment, one could reshape shared borders without having to worry about the layer hierarchy of the involved. This would be very useful when editing busy graphic images. My 2 cents.

nice

Awesome Top G, saved me from buying an iPad

Bey Bey illustrator!

Thank

I thought last example would resemble a dick as a joke 😂 Really great explanation btw, convinced me to upgrade to V2 !

👌

interesting

Takes a bit but works well

Great.... How can we do that in Affinity Designer 1?

I couldn't download the files

Any chance you could do a course on Udemy?

Hey could you create a frosty text effect, or icy text effect, or on a object frosty, icy, effect.

the noise of the keyboard or Mause is so anoying xD

Thank you!
